A drilled well consists of a hole bored or drilled into the ground, with the upper portion being lined with steel casing. The casing is used to prevent the collapse of the borehole walls prior to bedrock being achieved and with a drive shoe or a grout seal it prevents surface or subsurface contaminants from entering the water supply. Once the driller has seated the casing into solid competent bedrock he then continues drilling through the layers of rock where the water flows. Water well Drilling is continued until adequate water has been achieved for the water wells particular application. Then a pump system is installed to bring water to the surface.
Water wells need to be located a minimum distance from all points of possible contamination, such as septic and wastewater systems, petroleum tanks and animal holding areas. Water well drilling should avoid these areas as they could potentially leak contaminants into the groundwater system around your well. Any potential health risks should be considered before placing the well.
State or local codes may also dictate water well drilling and placement. These codes could require the well be placed a certain amount of distance from utilities or property lines. Additionally, some geological formations will indicate the best areas in which to locate your future well. Call us schedule a service call and we can guide you through well placement and installation.
Newer wells should need little to no maintenance for many years. If you begin to notice that your pump is constantly running, your breaker tripping frequently or a change in the quality of water, then we recommend that you contact us to have your water looked at. A well will experience wear and tear on the system components that will ultimately cause damage. We suggest that you have your well inspected every five years, to prevent any small issues from turning into larger, more expensive issues.
An eggy smell coming from your water is typically the result of bacteria in your well. This type of bacteria isn't harmful but the smell is unpleasant. If this happens to your water we recommend that you contact us and schedule a time for us to disinfect your well and flush your system.
Having issues with your water pressure could be caused by a variety of factors. It could be a small issue like a clogged screen, or it could be something more serious like the well drying up. It's difficult to assess the issue without taking a look at the well and the system, so contact us now for a free quote today!
